visual studio for iphone and android?

Thanks Cro. I'm not sure if I am reading the specs correctly on Mono but I do not want to have to load a compiler or virtual machine on the phone in order to run the apps. Rather I would want the code to run 100% native in the device, for example, produce a .apk file for android. Does it do this?

Also, I don't mind writing in native code for each device; Obj-C, Java. I just want to use the VS IDE that I am familiar with.

Looks like it does indeed compile .apks for deployment. neat!

oh, no kidding so you use it now and give it good marks? Righteous! I'll give it a go. Using C# is a total bonus! I would have been happy to just be able to use visual studio regardless of the language.

I hope that someday we could have a section on this website to help answer any questions on MONO. I guess till then if you have any questions post them under C# and I will try to help you out when i can.

Happy Coding,
CroCrew~

Isn't this like a duck out of water? It sounds like you're trying to force a square peg into a round hole. I no sooner would do Windows development with cygwin than I'd try and use Mono or VS for Android or the iPhone. And, particularly, I don't even know if VS can work with Xcode and all the tools Apple requires you to use.

As far as Mono goes, the best tools for creating software on *nix are already built in to *nix.

I've actually begun using PhoneGap. It's turning out to be a excellent solution. At work I'm tasked to come up with quick deployable apps and this is fitting the bill nicely. I'm turning out apps for Android, IOS, and Windows phone with little pain
